Istiqlal, National mosque in Central Jakarta, Indonesia.

The main prayer hall of Istiqlal Mosque extends across five levels with a central dome measuring 45 meters in diameter.

The construction of Istiqlal Mosque started in 1961 under President Sukarno and took 17 years to complete, with final inauguration in 1978.

The mosque stands next to Jakarta Cathedral, demonstrating Indonesia's principle of religious harmony and mutual respect between different faiths.

The mosque provides guided tours in multiple languages and requires visitors to wear appropriate clothing, with robes available at the entrance.
